K1ngdaKa88 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 This Saturday I was able to ride the small looping coaster on top of a carnival vehicle. This coaster is also known as Worlds smallest looping roller coaster. This coaster was built by the carnival club FaKoBa from Bassersdorf, Switzerland for last year´s carnival. During an information event for next carnival, they showed their coaster and so I could ride it. The ride itself is actually really good for a homemade coaster. It gives you two punches between the looping and the curve, but the rest is surprisingly smooth! The first drop fells kinda like one from an Eurofighter, because it happens so quick. The Looping you don´t really notice, it fells a bit like a fast backflip. After you jerked into the curve, you move around and roll out in the end "valley". If you would be too fast, there is a tire as a bumper to stop you. They even have a vertical elevator to bring the cart back up. For this they mounted a piece of track onto a fork-lifter that is built into the ride. Overall it´s a great and unique experience which I won´t forget. To see how it looks, I have some photos and a video for you, and of course, with a POV: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Coaster Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 That ride looks intense and borderline brutal from the POV, but I'm glad it sounds enjoyable from your review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XII Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Damn. This thing looks f*cking brutal. But I'm glad to hear that it's actually apparently fun,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I'm surprised that rectangle cart is able to dip down and pull up so quickly to get into the loop. Anyone else notice little flecks of stuff coming off the track/car at :36? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, well it's the first test run in the morning, so maybe some dirt or so from standing around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookiex Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I'm surprised the cart makes it through the loop at such a high speed. From that height I'd assume it'd be closer to stalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericthewanderer Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 That ride looks safer and smoother than the Great Adv. Viper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 The whole thing fits on a trailer! Do they even have to dismantle it before transport? I can just imagine driving down the road seeing that dragged along behind a pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just imagine driving down the road seeing that dragged along behind a pickup. I think they can leave it like that for transport, since a carnival car normally moves at a parade.

OmnipotentSeal Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Move over Olympia looping. This is the best traveling coaster now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1ngdaKa88 Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 Move over Olympia looping. This is the best traveling coaster now. And the fastest one in building it up. You just need to put the handbrake one and it's done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
